## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd rank them for a small business, with the caveat that most of the "best webinar platform" listicles out there are published *by* webinar companies ranking themselves #1 - so treat the ordering below as my read, not theirs.
> 
> **1. Demio** - My default recommendation for most small businesses doing marketing or sales webinars. Runs entirely in the browser (no attendee download, which is the single biggest cause of no-shows), clean branded registration pages, built-in email reminders, and good handoffs into HubSpot/Mailchimp. Starts around $45-63/mo per host. The reason it wins: least setup friction for the person running it, least friction for the people attending.
> 
> **2. Zoom Webinars** - Pick this if your audience already knows and trusts Zoom, or you're already paying for Zoom Workplace. Familiarity genuinely converts. Watch the pricing trap: it's an **add-on** starting ~$79/mo for 300 attendees that requires a paid Zoom Workplace plan underneath, so your true cost is higher than the sticker price. Also the weakest of this list on marketing features - registration pages and nurture emails are basic.
> 
> **3. Livestorm** - The one I'd choose if webinars are a recurring pro
